The Ten Big Lies of Parliamentarism

The
following article is originally in Portuguese. I used Google Translator to read
it. I’m posting the first paragraph in English. I am reposting a larger part of
it here in Portuguese, along with a link to the original page. I like this
article because it helps explains how parliamentary democracy is phony. I’m not
against democracy or elections. Elections have their place. But to insist that
these elections actually result in democracy is a pipe dream. Democracy implies
that people are deciding who their leaders are and making major decisions about
their destiny. National political elections don’t do that at all.

The
choices given to the voters are those of political parties influenced by
corporate interests and not the interests of the people they are supposed to
represent. In the US we have two parties. While they have their differences
they are extremely limited choices. The voter is a mere spectator and not
really a participant in the process of choosing leadership.

Even worse, elections are a tool of manipulation.
They present a false sense of empowerment when they are used to solicit
approval of political choices that are not up to the voter. Democracy in
western countries are more of a deception. -សតិវ​អតុ

So I
like to post arguments against the illusion of western democracy:

to publicly expose much less counter. It dumha sum of commonplaces that
sostenhem bourgeois thought from liberalism. Some clichés that dominate
the reformists, who justify and tamém, sound base that turns them into useful
tools for our enemy, the political power of the Spanish oligarchy and the
Galician bourgeoisie, the Spanish State.....

The cost of maintaining US Imperialism is high!

No other country in the world puts as much of its budget into the military as the US. This country is the top imperialist power in the world today and that is costing us a lot of resources that are badly needed elsewhere.
